About Elliot
Elliot Maguire is a Person-Centred Psychotherapist (NCPS) working in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger and related problems. He also supports those dealing with depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, sleep difficulties and ADHD.
Elliot uses a person-centred stance to keep sessions focused on the client's experience. He listens for what matters most and helps people slow things down when feelings feel overwhelming. He combines this with cognitive behavioural ideas to look at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep difficulties going.
He also draws on attachment-based perspectives to understand how past relationships shape present reactions. For some clients he uses EMDR techniques and hypnotherapy as part of a broader plan to process distressing memories and reduce intense emotional responses. These approaches are chosen to match what the person needs and wants to work on.
Sessions are practical and straightforward. People are invited to talk about real situations like losing temper with partners, frustration at work, building resentment, or coping with someone else’s anger. Elliot encourages small, manageable steps such as breathing and grounding exercises, practical communication ideas and experiments to test new ways of responding.
He works in English and accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session. Costs vary with location and use a cancellable subscription model.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape current reactions. It helps when anger feels tied to old patterns of hurt, rejection or abandonment. Client-centred work focuses on the person's experience in the room. The therapist listens and reflects to help people make sense of their feelings and decide what to try next. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and offers practical experiments to test new responses and reduce reactivity.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elliot will discuss options with each person and agree a plan based on their goals and preferences. That collaborative process means approaches can change as needs shift, combining listening-based work with practical CBT ideas or EMDR or hypnotherapy when appropriate.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. It also lets people choose quieter surroundings, use a phone if bandwidth is limited, or stay off camera when that helps them focus. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use these practical options to help sessions fit into daily routines.
